Will everyone in a relationship or family deal with the same transition in the same way?
No. People have different coping skills and feelings because everyone is different. They can go through the same changes but react very differently. That is normal and it is okay.

Anticipated changes are changes that you plan for like applying for a new job or moving into a group home or apartment.
Unanticipated changes are changes that you do not plan for like sudden death or illness.

No. Some transitions in society happen quickly but some changes can take years or decades to happen, like global warming.

Is it normal to transition out of relationships as life goes on?
Yes. People change and life changes. You might stay friends with someone for your whole entire life but you might also exit out of friendships. Both are normal.
Can personal changes impact the people around you?
Yes. Just because something is only happening to you does not mean that the people around you do not notice it or are not affected by it, especially the people close to us.
TRUE OR FALSE: All transitions that happen in society happen naturally.
False. Some changes are brought about by humans. These changes can be positive or negative, for example, a negative society transition would be global warming while a positive society transition would be the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which created laws and rights for people with disabilities. Global warming is harming the planet while the ADA makes society more inclusive.
